NEWSPAPER EDITING.

Published by request for the benefit of the
thousands who think they know how to best
edit and run pAper,I
The glamour OF the circus ticket and
the railroad pass soon wears away under
the pressure Of real life In the sanctum.
The magical I'VE" that lures so many
gOOdly human ships to 1.-The sea Of jour
nalism," loses its fascination when the
editors work meets the criticism OF the
countless thousands who make men
tired, because they know the business OF
others so much better than they know
their own. Enthusiasts soon learn that
newspapers are public property, In the
estimation of the public, and that each
Individual OF the dear people Is ready
at any and all times TO neglect his own
affairs in life in order to Instruct that
mythical, mystical parsonage, 1.-THE edi-
tor" Unborn In humanity Is a conscious
superiority that finds expression at
slightest prOVOCStiOn. No man Is free OF
il, and how mOrtifying to the pride OF
successful business man 1t would be 10
hear the many criticisms OF his methods
and realize that all his townsmen know
better than himself how TO manage his
business. But private business Is ex-
empt from the modification OF public
criticism, and OF knowing that its sue
cess is due to chance and not TO
the Judgment OF its conductor,
and of realizing that every other
man In the community could have
managed Ii to greater success. But
this bliss of ignorance Of his inleriority
Is but the need of the editor; his work
meets all the eyes, and the impersonali-
ty Of the victim subjects him to the
egotism that moves all men TO neglect
their own affairs In his behalf.
The newspaper that hopes to win the
applause of all men will win the APP
plause Of none. The world has made
success the test OF merit, and the pOpu-
larity and strength OF newspaper are
the test OF the merit of its editorial man
agement; and If newspaper win these
Ii has done all that 1t can hope to do
through editorial conduct, and may con-
tentedly resign Itself to the despair Of
ever winning the applause of all men.
The wonder is that men who
know so much about editing" news
paper do not make the effort for
which they deemed themselves called in
life's work. Mans duty to his fellows
as we'll as to himself demands his atten-
ton to that calling in which he can win
greatest success, and those who criti-
else newspapers to the neglect OF their
own concerns, should hasten to embark
in the business, and conduct 1t accord
ing to that perfect plan which every
man has for the conduct OF the business
OF every other man.
Alas, for the circus ticket and the
railroad pass. What poor compensa-
ton of reward are they for the humilia-
tlon of spirit consequent upon the
knowledge that the popularity and
strength Of newspaper are nothing,
but that the true test of merit is the
fulflllment Of the wishes of all men re-
gardless OF their wide differences of
opinion and selfish interests.

THIS is the day in which the bids for
the location Of the orphan asylum are to
be opened. Whatever may be the de-
oision, San Antonio can show better
reasons for demanding the location at
this point than any other section of
Texas. The health OF the pupils, the
desirabllity Of the situation. the gener-
Osity Of the people in all matters Of a
humane character, with many other con-
sideratiOns, all point like the finger OF
fate to an eligible site on some of the
hills outlying this city as the true lOca-
ton. What propositions this city has
submitted no one knows, nor ia like
ly to until after the event is decided,
but it is safe to say that the offer OF %
acres Of ground coupled with the natur-
y 81 advantages here is a better offer than
WY be made elsewhere.
1THE bOsh about systematic suppress
siOb of republicans in southern states"
is mo bOsh, only in democratic brain
pans. The votes of four southern states
are systematically suppressed and their
electoral vote goes to elect a democratic
president, when, as a matter Of fact, the
states are overwhelmingly republican.
1t has become a law among these states
to count no more republican votes than
amount to minority OF the democratic
votes cast. The election returns year
after year, showing that about 30 per
cent only Of the full votes of these states
are pOlled, is proof presumptIve OF the
facts stated. The Massachusetts re-
publican convention In charging such
suppression talked by the card and sc-
cOrding to book. OF this there is no
manner Of doubt, all assertions Of bosh
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

pocket, unlocked the doors, and taking up his
overcoat and rifle turned as if to go.
Rawlins rose to follow him; Halo alone
hesitated. The rapid occurrences of the last
half hour gave him no time for reflection.
But he was by no means satisfied of the le-
gality of the last act he had aided and abette.l,
although he admitted its rude justice, and
felt he would have done so again. A fear of
this, and an instinct that he might be lcsl into
further complications if he continued to iden-
tify himself with Clinch and Rawlins; the fact
that they had professedly abandoned their
quest, and that 1t was really supplanted by
the presence of an authorized party whom
they had already come in conflict with-all
this urged him to remain behind. On the
ether hand, the apparent dssertion of his
comrades at the last moment was opposed
both to his sense Of honor and the liking he
had taken to them. But he reflected that he
had already shown his active partisanship,
that he could be of little service to them at
Wild Cat Station, and would be only increas-
ing the distance from his home; and above
all, an impatient longing for Independent
action finally decided him, " think ] win

An AnerdOtc of Garfield,

Those who remember events Of the kind
will recall the fact that Garfield, during
tho early autumn OF 1880, made jou-Iae,
to New York city, going from Cleveland
by way of the Lake Shore and Michipar
Southern and New York Central system
and returning by the Eric and "Nypano."
The trip was made Il" special train, and
corps Of correspondents from leading
papers was kept exceedingly busy, for
speeches were made at almost every sta
ton, and there was lively hustle for the
wires. 1t Was almost constantly writing
and racing to telegraph Offices for dear
life
On an intensely hot afternoon was sit
ting during an interval OF leisure, looking
from the window, when Garfield took me
by the arm, raised Inc from my scat, led
me into compartment at the end of the
car, locked the door and asked: b.
"Have you had any watermelonT'
ono, SIR" said /.
"Ncithcr have I. We are both too
busy, but now we will steal ten long min
utcs and no one shall enter that door,
With this he produced from an ice box q
huge melon, cut it in two, carved Off two
great slices, and handing me one began
operations on the other. Thus we sat, too
engrossed to talk, while knock after knock
at the door was UNDECIDED until we had
fairly polished the rinds. Then he arose,
and saying, ''Now / must go back to work;
remember where the melons are, left me.

Dress Reform Seventy Years Ago. :

Dress hetOrm seventy Years ago.
My grandmother has been telling me
something about how tho present styles
in women's under garments came into
vogue. When she was o child, she said,
no one wore any lower under clothes ex-
ccpt stockings. After a while there came
a fashion for pantalettes, which consisted
simply of broad ruffie fastened by
tight band just below the knee. Children
used to have two sets, white ones for best,
and yellow napkeen or calico for every day
wear. She said there was reason for
the fashion of pantalettes, as there is for
every degree of fashion. People had be-
gun TO think it more sensible to put short
dresses on children rather than long
gowns reaching below their ankles, and,
to make the custom modest, the extra
coverings for the limbs was invented But
the presence of tight band about the
leg was Objectionable on account of its
discomfort, and the rpDcdy for this led to
the next step In the evolution of the pres
ent lower under garment 10 the outside
Of the broad rufflc was attached the base
of a long, acute angle triangle of cloth.
This triangle extended mp the waist,
where it was buttoned to the chemise
This relieved the pressure from the band,
but, as the support was one-sided, 1t
caused the ruffie to hang unevenly at
times.
The only remedy for this seemed to be
the adoption of the present form, in
which the whole of the lower portion Of
the body is covered, For long time Il
anybody dared dream Of such an limo
walton she dared not speak of 1t, and when
at last the bounds were leapcd by some
courageous women, who donnsd the first
drawers, there was 2 wonderful hue and
